[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re in Virginia and worried about anti-trans backlash.

Our daughter is a gender non-confirming but not trans.  She’s tends to gravitate towards traditionally “boyish” things like short hair and clothes from the boy section.  She’s a happy, healthy little girl and has lots of friends and enjoys school.

We’ve had a few odd incidences of adults making inappropriate comments about how my daughter chooses express herself (especially her short hair).  Lots of assumptions she’s trans or that I should be forcing her to wear traditionally girl clothes.

She’s dressed like this for about 3-4 years and we had minimal issues and suddenly we’re hearing lots of opinions.

[b]Apparently the school custodian worker told DD she should grow her hair out because “girls don’t need short hair.”[/b]

I don’t want to get a low wage worker in trouble but we noticed the climate around gender and gender expression has gotten super hostile.

I think the issue goes beyond transgender rights and we’re seeing an influx of rhetoric against kids who aren’t fitting in little boxes.

Do you worry about this as a parent?  Anyone going through something similar?    [/quote]

This is extremely inappropriate and I would escalate it. Or at the very least arm my DD with a few clap backs about how he’s a janitor. [/quote]
